Big comedy figure here in the 70's and 80's with many TV appearancesincluding his own show. Huge Elvis fan who did a musical tribute tohis hero on most of his live appearances.

His spotty recording career started with some now very sought after"Freddie Starr & The Midnighters" singles on Decca in 1963/1964 verymuch in the then hugely popular "merseybeat" groove (he was fromHuyton near Liverpool) and later included revivals of several on-topichere songs like "It's Only Make Believe","Will You Love MeTomorrow","Bad Boy" (the Marty Wilde song) etc etc.

Not exactly my cup of tea musically but he was a pretty funny guy onTV,very good with visual jokes and could make me laugh--unlike thedreadful left wing politically slanted 'every other word is "fuck" 'crap that passes for comedy today.
